Deutsche Post DHL Group, strengthens its cooperation with Austrian Post in Slovakia and Czech Republic. With the aim of creating profitable growth in the booming cross-border e-commerce business, the groups will collaborate in last-mile parcel delivery in Slovakia and Czech Republic.

In Time s.r.o., a company of Austrian Post, will deliver parcels sent by DHL customers to Slovakia, while Deutsche Post DHL Group’s Czech subsidiary, PPL CZ s.r.o. will deliver parcels sent by Austrian Post customers to Czech Republic. Both agreements are expected to begin in September 2019.

“Following the cooperation with Austrian Post in Austria, both parties decided to further use each other’s delivery network as described in Slovakia and Czech Republic. With e-commerce on the rise and growing parcel volumes high quality and best-in-class customer experience in last-mile-delivery becomes increasingly a key differentiator and with this cooperation we will lay the right foundation for this”, said Petr Horak, Managing Director PPL CZ s.r.o. & DHL Parcel Slovensko.
